Satan and Semjaza: The Dragon and the Watcher

Many fallen angels have rebelled against God — but over time, their stories have become tangled together. Scripture never calls the serpent in Eden Satan, nor does it ever name Lucifer as Satan. When we look closer, we find the serpent was a nachash—a class of shining heavenly beings—and there were many of them. Satan is indeed that old serpent, the Devil, but he was not the only ancient serpent who rebelled. The truth reveals a far older war — one that began before the Flood.
